President Donald Trump has announced his intention to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin once talks are arranged, a process that is currently in progress. This meeting comes after Trump's previous statement as a candidate that he could end the Ukraine war within 24 hours of taking office. Despite the passing time, Trump humorously noted that he still had half a day left to achieve this goal.
Trump's nominee for Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, also weighed in on the situation. Rubio stated that he could not provide a specific timeframe for resolving the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. He emphasized the importance of both sides being willing to make concessions as a necessary step in any conflict resolution process. Rubio further acknowledged Russia's role as the aggressor in the ongoing conflict.
